[Help-smalltalk] VisualGST

[Gwenael Casaccio]

Hi,

I would like to talk a little about VisualGST and GST :p

First of all I think I can tag the stable GIT branch as a version 0.7.0.
We've made a big step to a useful IDE there are a lot a work to do but I
would like to stop adding stuff for this release.

Things to do for the next release :
  - a new abstract model for gtk
  - fix bugs :)
  - package management !
  - git integration !
  - improve the debugger
  - improve the sunit tool
  - a dialog box for the class creation
  - one window ide
  - add side bar 
        * on the left : a file browser
                         a packet manager
        * on the right : gtk documentation browser
                         code snippet
                         inspector
                         ...
  - a better mac os x integration (may be by creation a class
VisualGSTPlatform ...)
  - gobjectintropsection
  - ...

For GST I would like to add a multi cpu support and a support of
ObjectSpaces (ObjectSpaces can be seen as OOP as first class) so we can
do multi image support, software isolation, large image, security, ...

Now as I'm working an on article so I won't have time to integrate it -
right now - and I should improve it a bit ^^.

Also as we'll have a 3.2 (hmm why not a 3.5 since we've made a lot of
work on it and also spend a lot of time :p) we can before the official
release change a bit the website (with some screenshot of VisualGST,
code sample, may be an other CSS, ...)

I wish you a merry XMas and a happy new year for everybody.

Cheers,
Gwenael
